Research Abstract	This study is constructed from theoretical approach and fieldwork. The theoretical approach examined the purpose of the integrated physical education, the concept of ‘Sport & Leisure' and the concept of ‘Educative space'. The fieldwork aimed at the specification of factors for the educative space. The outline and results of this study were as follows: (1) This study examined the purpose of the integrated physical education. The most important part of this examination is that it is necessary to aim at the development of human beings and becoming as human beings in the integrated physical education. Based on this examination, it is necessary to develop new media for integrated physical education; (2) This study reconsidered the concept of ‘Leisure' in physical education and suggested the concept of ‘Sport & Leisure' as new media for integrated physical education. ‘Sport & Leisure' as a concept was widely understood. It is implicated in ‘Sport' and ‘Leisure' and furthermore, extensive actions of human beings; (3) This study set up the concept of ‘Educative space' and suggested that children become as human in this space. The primary consideration should be emphasized the educational management in the educative space; (4) This study carried out fieldwork on the state of facilities of sports as the educative space. The result of this fieldwork clearly shows that historical and personal factors are essential for the educative space.
